Swiss by birth, Miville came Canada via La Rochelle at a date that has not been established with certainty but that was previous to 28 Oct 1649, on which date he, along with his son Francois, received from the governor, LOUIS D'AILLEBOUT, a grant of land in the seigneury of Lauson, which was later raised to the status of arriere-fief. Miville apparently tried to entice some of his compatriots to Canada. In fact, on 16 July 1665, M. de PRO UVILLE de Tracy granted him, along with his sons and four other persons, a concession measuring 21 arpents by 40 at Grande Anse (La Pocatiere), naming the locality "the Canton of Fribourg Swiss." This undertaking was unsuccessful. Pierre Miville stayed at Lauson until his death, 14 Oct 1669. In France he had married Charlotte Maugis, who bore him six children, at least; one of them, Jacques, was the founder of the Miville-Deschenes families of North America.
